ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- Sergio Olmos has been a one man conquistador the second half, with four easy layups in the first five minutes, but he's now on the bench after picking up his fourth foul. That's unfortunate, because every time Olmos scores the Temple student section -- which now doubles La Salle's in size -- sings "Olé, olé, olé" in unison.

Temple continues to hold a comfortable edge, increasing it to 11 on a Lavoy Allen jam with just over 14 minutes left in the game. Back to back threes have put La Salle right back into it, though; the Owls are now up 59-54 with just under 12 left.

Darnell Harris is scoreless in the second half, but backcourt-mate Rodney Green has a pair of buckets in the second half and has 14. Yves Mekongo Mbala now has 11.
